Sawing project 2022
« on: February 18, 2022, 07:29:33 AM »
I finally got the sun, moon and the stars all lined up to host the sawing project again. It will be held on April 8th and 9th 2022. Address is

1607 Capps Browning Rd.
Rentz, GA. 31075

I will ask that this doesn't get shared on Facebook until we see how many folks are coming from here. I'm afraid that if it got shared there that there might not be enough room for the rest of us.
I don't have anything in particular planned to saw so hit me with some suggestions and we will see where it goes from there. I now have all of my equipment at the home mill so we can look at the extended mill, Lucas slabber, remote mill, slabmizer, skidsteers, telehandler, backhoe, articulated loader, kiln, couple of planers, resaw, jointer, blade sharpening equipment, logs and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting.
We will spend most of Friday going around and discussing most of the equipment and then a sawing demo yet to be determined on Saturday morning. Keep in mind that one of the ways that pays for this project is the selling of the lumber that is produced and donations by them that are attending. There is normally a gathering Friday evening around a little bonfire with some hamburgers and hotdogs and then a lunch on Saturday. Saturday evening around another little bonfire munching on leftovers so I don't have to eat them all.
Those that live close enough are welcome to bring a covered dish or dessert for the lunch on Saturday. We just like to keep a head count and a list going of what is being brought so we don't have 10 of the same thing. You guys that are single and can't cook can bring drinks, plates, plastic ware or some other such thing.

I will furnish the chicken for Saturday and Tammy and I make 2  attending.
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head planer, 30" double surface planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won’t roll, its not a log; it’s still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they’re burned, and you can’t fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

Jake,

   Thanks for the offer but my schedule won't work for that time. Maybe next year will work better for us. You guys have a great time and safe travels to all who can come.

Jake, I appreciate you hosting.  It is always at the top of the list of things that I want to do.  I will plan on attending, which will make 12.  I'll have to see if John can break away for a couple of days.

I will be a tentative 19. 

I appreciate you taking on such giant task, your events are always the highlight of my year.   Only thing that would keep me away is a need to help my elderly parents.

I was reading through this just a grinning. When I got to the bottom I saw the one about 2020. Sure was a lot of laughs in there before Covid hit. Lets make this as fun as that one.
For those that haven't been here before there is lots of hotels at the intersection of HWY 441 and Interstate 16 Dublin, GA. which is 6 miles from my place.
